This year we have teamed up with our creative chums at Fred Aldous to produce our Valentines day gift guides. We picked some of our favourite products from our artists & makers and headed over to the famous Fred Aldous photobooths to take some fab piccies.

Fred’s is a family run business that’s in its second century of supplying crafters and artists worldwide; they are the only place in the UK with two vintage photobooths, one colour and one black & white.
